GPS with temperature gauge and voltage-meter

I am annoyed with my Zumo LM595. I can't seem to be able to connect the garmin tempe to it to get accurate temperature (when riding in cold weather I want to know if its bellow freezing). I also think it should have a way to display the voltage of the battery.

It seems like such a massive oversight, and trivially simple features to implement.

Is there any GPSes that does this?
 
I also have the 595 and love it. I'm not sure though what you mean by displaying the battery status. Do you have it powered by the bike? If so, then it's constantly being charged while working. If not, at least mine, displays the battery status in the upper right corner. Also, if you click on the battery meter for about 5 seconds, it will display a screen showing the voltage, the battery temperature, and other test information.

I don't have Garmin's temperature module for outside so I don't know much about that.

I want to see the voltage of the bike battery. I will test pressing the icon when I get home from work.

Apart from not being able to read the bike battery voltage and having a temperature reading (the forecast is somewhat unreliable especially where there is big local variances).

how did you all make it to vinland?
 
I use the Tempe' with my 276CX on my snowmobile. It is very unreliable and next season I'm gonna use something else.
